The South African authorities have said Zimbabwean Zandile Tshuma accused of killing his wife and two daughters in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom will be extradited to face trial.

South African Justice Minister, Mmamoloko Kubayi, disclosed this in a press conference on Sunday.

The justice minister said, “Mr Tshuma will be extradited to the UK once I have signed all the extradition documents and requests.”

The accused is to appear in court in Johannesburg on Monday, where his extradition to the UK would be decided.

Mr Tshuma fled the UK two days after his wife, Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, 42, and her daughters Natalie, and Nala, were found dead in their home near Bedford on Monday.

The Zimbabwean fled to South Africa, where he was arrested on Friday by the South African police.
